I have 2 more years to register. My daughter is 4 months old and she has changed my life. My girlfriend has never worked, and lives with her mother on welfare.

My mother would be able to help me out if I could get custody.
DUI / DWI Attorney
Custody is either done by agreement or decided by the court. Your prior offense will be one of many factors the court will consider. You need a lawyer who will address this and makes sure the court hears about any other issues you have in the case. Since this involves your child, this may be the most important case you ever have. Make sure it gets done right the first time. You need to get your evidence on the record and keep out stuff that may factor against you. It can be very difficult to change something later if it is not done right the first time.

Product Description
Is there anyone better able to dissect the contemporary U.S. Left than David Horowitz? After all, it takes one-at least who used to be one-to know one. And like a whole slew of former Leftists over the last 30 years (Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, Ronald Radosh, Sidney Hook, and Horowitzs sometimes writing mate, Peter Collier, among others), when these folks critique the Left, they know of what they speak because theyve been there. They know the ideological code words, frames of thought, and rhetoric.
But more than others, Horowitz has made something of a career of his intellectual odyssey from Left to Right, from serving as one of the foremost exponents of New Left radicalism in the 1960s as an editor of Ramparts magazine and in his close association with the revolutionary Black Panther movement, to acting as a Ronald Reagan backer in the 1980s and continuing as conservative ideologue (as publisher of the online magazine FrontPage) and as a crusader against politically correct university speech codes and affirmative action programs. He was once described as the most hated ex-radical of his generation.
This journey has been chronicled in books like Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About the 60s (with Collier), a critique of the New Left, and Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey, a biographical journey from Red Diaper Baby in a Communist household to modern-day conservative and human rights activist. (Those who dont follow the ideological wars may know him for co-authoring such landmark books as The Rockefellers and The Kennedys.)
Its no wonder Horowitz is a prime Left target. For one thing, the Left never forgives those who abandon it. And could it be otherwise, since in book after book over the past decade (The Politics of Bad Faith, Left Illusions, and The Hate America Left, among others) he has unceasingly attacked the Lefts ideological underpinnings and practices, from its collaboration with totalitarian Communist regimes like North Vietnam, Nicaragua, and Cuba, to its opposition to liberal-democratic governments like those of the United States and other western powers that are seemingly more representative of the Lefts values in upholding human rights and equality.
Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left continues his hammering of the Left. But it is of the post- 9/11 Left, and that makes it particularly significant in a world remade politically after the events of September 11, when the West was awakened to confront the new and ruthless enemy of radical Islam.
In one sense, Unholy Alliances critique is in the vein of the authors earlier works: he makes wide-canvas accusations that the Left has had a lot to answer for-for its official alignments with, and sympathetic support for, unsavoury totalitarian regimes and movements abroad, whether of the former Soviet Union or Pol Pot; on the domestic front he accuses the Left of siding with radical gay activists who lobbied to thwart tough public health measures such as the closing of gay bathhouses in the 1980s that likely would have slowed the spread of AIDS.
In the post-9/11 world the threat may be new (specifically, radical Islam and its desire to impose an imperial caliphate in place of Cold War Communisms worldwide imperial classless ambitions), but for the Left, according to Horowitz, its the same old story. As implied by the books title, the Left today, again contradicting its lip service about equality and human rights, has generally been non-critical-if not directly supportive-of anti-democratic regimes and movements, from Palestinian terror groups to the former government of Saddam Hussein itself, and against liberal democracies like the United States, Great Britain, and Israel.
Indeed, Horowitzs argument in this book is clear and cogent. For example, whatever possessed the Left, within days of the World Trade Center and Pentagon bombings, to rally opposition to any U.S. retaliation against the perpetrators? Between September 11 and 30, before a shot was fired in response, Horowitz says, there were 247 anti-war demonstrations in the United States and overseas, and approximately 150 peace vigils and teach-in protests across the country. If the Left denounced the attacks at all, the criticism was often muted and qualified by rationalisations that America should look at the root causes such as the countrys supposed imperial activities abroad. Perhaps most notorious among all those who took this position was author and intellectual Susan Sontag, who said of the 9/11 hijackers, whatever may be said of the perpetrators of Tuesdays slaughter, they were not cowards.
Once America did respond with the bombing and invasion of Afghanistan, the U.S. Government, in many Left circles, was immediately denounced for its imperialism and for waging a racist war. Horowitz writes, Within weeks of the most heinous attack on America in its history, radicals had turned their own country into the villain. Criticism of the invasion aside, where, Horowitz asks, was the Left in at least condemning a totalitarian Islamic regime (the Taliban which harboured Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda) that oppressed women, homosexuals and non-Muslims and that consequently should have been repellent to (the Lefts) own values. Horowitz says that, from both angles, this was a defining moment for the U.S. Left, analogous to its response to the signing of the Nazi-Soviet Pact in 1939, when the Left of that era opposed the militarist policies of Britain and the U.S against Nazi Germany.
But it wasnt until the U.S. started contemplating the invasion of Iraq that the wellspring of opposition truly gained force. Horowitz, for his part, takes the same position on Iraq as on Afghanistan-in other words that both invasions were justified-and condemns Left opposition equally. As in Afghanistan, the United States was undertaking a regime change in Iraq that the Left might be expected to support, he argues. After all Saddams Baath Party was modelled after the Nazi Party, Saddam was a mass murderer who had invaded two countries, had used poison gas against his own people (the Kurds and Shiites), had harboured notorious terrorists like Abu Abbas and Abu Nidal, and had actively financed the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. Six months before the invasion the demonstrations, numbering in the hundreds of thousands around the world, were larger than in the first six years of protest against the Vietnam War.
Moreover, Horowitz points out, the anti-war protests were notable for their one-sidedness. Only America was denounced as a rogue or terrorist state and for desiring blood for oil with slogans comparing it to Nazi Germany. By contrast, Al Qaeda and radical Islam were not at all targets of the demonstrators ire. Horowitz concludes, The international left had become frontier guards for Saddam and the Islamic jihad.
But Unholy Alliance is more than a simple critique of the anti-war and anti-U.S. Left. It harks back to Horowitzs previous book, The Politics of Bad Faith, which depicts the Left as a Gnostic religious movement whose idealism is rooted in the quest for a world vastly superior to the capitalist liberal democracies extant in the United States. For this reason, the Left sides with victims of capitalism and opposition regimes, no matter how tyrannical, in order to overthrow Western regimes and impose an egalitarian communist order.
Horowitz maintains that the contemporary anti-war Left has largely been propelled by these same Marxist goals. But, he asks, what does it say about these ideological secessionists from traditional American values, who side with an enemy, radical Islam, that has condemned every American-regardless of race, gender, age or creed-to death? It reveals, he answers, a loathing-which is really a self-loathing-for their country and its citizens.
One problem I have with the book is that Horowitz doesnt really distinguish among those people broadly against the war-who might actually number close to half the U.S. population-and many of the organizers of the anti-war demonstrations. Many of the Americans who opposed the war are hardly leftist zealots. They simply werent convinced there was enough evidence to invade Iraq, and are shamed because the military action has sullied what they consider their countrys traditional role as a defender and not aggressor nation. They differ markedly from the protest leaders, including anti-war organizations such as Act Now to Stop War and Racism (ANSWER) and Not In Our Name (NION), whose main components included such groups as the North Korean-aligned Workers World Party and Communist Chinese aligned Revolutionary Communist Party.
I have other quibbles, such as Horowitzs brushing over an issue like the U.S. Governments questionable rights violations of hundreds of people detained without trial in the aftermath of the terror attacks, and the sanctioning under the U.S. Patriot Act, which he otherwise does a good job defending, of allowing secret evidence in court.
Broadly speaking, Horowitz is correct in his condemnation of the post-9/11 anti-war Left-for its overwhelming biases against the West, and for forsaking its own values by not condemning the practices of Islamic regimes. Even if there were legitimate arguments against the Iraq invasion (e.g. no direct links between Al-Qaeda and Saddam, and the enormous death toll that resulted from the invasion), the Left with its conspiratorial hyperbole of no war for oil and charges of Bush simply seeking revenge for an assassination attempt on his father, is in need of a fundamental re-evaluation of where it stands on questions of democracy and human rights and indeed the War on Terror itself. But, as Horowitz has said in this and other books, the Left seems incapable of revaluating its agenda, blinded by its own messianic blinkers.

Their agenda emanates from the extreme left but their influence extends far beyond, also encompassing liberal discourse and the mass media. It seems that this radical agenda has now succeeded in capturing the heart and soul of the Democratic Party.
Unholy Alliance exposes and dissects the Left in fine detail, seeking for answers to why it has made an alliance with a reactionary and oppressive religious ideology. Also why it tried to undermine the War on Terror by opposing the liberation of Afghanitan and Iraq. The fracture of the consensus in American politics is another topic discussed here.
Part One, A Defining Moment, takes the investigation from 9/11, the response of the Administration, and the Left's response to that. It shows how the Left declared war on the War on Terror and started organising demonstrations long before any action was taken, becoming the vanguard for Saddam and the Jihad terrorists.
Part Two explores the Mind of the Left in a series that includes communist forerunners, the transition after the collapse of communism, the New Left, the Utopian Idea, the Nihilist Left and the Anti-American Cult. Throughout the book, prominent personalities are highlighted. Among them is Noam Chomsky, discussed with reference to a New Yorker profile where this nasty professor's malice and distortion of historical facts are pointed out. Chomsky's less strident but equally deceptive intellectual twin Howard Zinn also features.Read more ›

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.
Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.
This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is no free lunch. Mr. Horowitz elucidates the price to be paid if we accept the force-feeding of an illusory, earthly paradise that the radical socialist and jihadist are attempting to push down our throats. Swallow at your own peril. What David Horowitz has on the menu is well worth the price and infinitely more digestible.
Hey, my mom was a Trotskyite in college. What Horowitz says is totally right on. I don't know that it means that making war on Iraq was the best chess move in this very serious war, but I found only one item that I thought was an error.
Horowitz states that the war on Iraq and the war on Afghanistan took a few weeks and didn't become a quagmire. However, applying the same logical razor as he used in his book: First, you can't tell if something has become a quagmire until years afterward. Second, there are definite signs of quagmire developing, and it worth noting that the US occupation of Afghanistan never has reached the level of dominance and security at any time that the Soviet Union had there for the early years of their acquisition.
But, aside from that, he really nails the center of the uneasiness, the political fulcrum which has become a core of the Bush administration. Fact is, the left and its leaders have supported far more terrorism and sold far more lies than anyone else, and that most definitely includes Chomsky, his endless revisionist history and blinkered apologist tracts.
Horowitz knows his subject like only an apostate can. Seriously, if you want to read a book that will help you understand this political mess we have in America today, read this.
An important book to read for any American. While not everyone will be as alarmed as Horowitz, it is difficult to not at least be troubled by the political sympathy of an entire "intellectual" movement in the U.S.
An important piece of work.

Discussion CCP's
Does anyone here know what a critical control point is?
Since this IS Q-Talk .....NO I DO NOT KNOW.
Not really Q-Talk. :lol:
I honestly did not know.
Did some research and got better educated.
Sounds logical to me and should help with food safety.
Resources better focused, for sure.
Thanks for the question.
Sorry about that.
I got up at 4:00 this morning and cooked for the Fireman, EMT's, and
Police Dept.
I haven't been feeling good and I was commited to this and this morning
I pushed myself and I am just a little tired.
Thought I would just get online and relax a little and I can see
that being tired has caught up with me.
Anyway....I hope Joe will post the answer so I can find out.
Take care buddy.
Yup - I know what CCP is
Critical Control Point -
1. The point at which my wife refuses to let me make my point in a "discussion" and tries to control the conversation.
2. The point at which my wife refuses to let me do what I want to and tries to get me to do something she wants to do.
3. The point at which my teenage kids put me over the top and I have to control myself so I don't kill them.
Yes, I know what a Critical Control Point is, also.
I wont cheat. I'll be honest. I dont farkin know.
This is discussion, it's A okay to post any knowledge!
I have no clue what CCP is.
Critical = important factors that affect food safety
Control = the cook has control over conditions and actions
Point = step in the food prep process
My impression of a critical control point is that the person in charge (in your kitchen and pit area this is you) is required to review all steps of the food delivery, storage, prep, cooking/holding, and serving process and determine any steps in this process that would allow the food to be compromised, as in exposed to any contaminants or unsafe temperatures for too long a period of time. Once the critical control points have been identified, you need to develop a plan to minimize the likelyhood of bad things happening.
For the BBQ enthusiast that would include your shopping. If you purchase raw meat at Super Wally and intend to transport it to your home, the meat temperature needs to be maintained at a certain point during transportation. Put simply, you can't throw a brisket in the back of your pickup and make 6 stops on the way home. Use a cooler. From the time of purchase to storing in your refrigerator at home could be considered a critical control point.
Take that brisket out of the refrigerator and put it on the counter for injection and or rubbing. Because the raw meat is not in a controlled environment (cryovac in the fridge) and out on your counter at room temp, this would be a critical control point. You do have control over the time that it sits on your counter. A desirable plan would be to minimize this time.
Another, and related example is pit temperature and holding food in the "danger zone". We should all know that most raw meats, with obvious exceptions for rare beef, and in my opinion chicken in particular, need to spend as little time possible at temps between 40* and 140*. This would be a critical control point. You do have control over that pit temperature.
Many more examples, and if you look at it, it's all just common sense.
This was just a ramble on my part. Good subject to discuss for sure and I look forward to others input.
At home one that concerns me is the time between serving and getting off my then stuffed arse and refrigerating the leftovers.
Good stuff Kevin. (*Placing gold star on forehead*)

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to electric power-generating devices such as wind turbines and ocean current turbines, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for distributing to various gearboxes the input torque characteristic of low rotational velocity high-torque operation of wind or water turbine blades.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Many electric power-generating devices, such as wind turbines and ocean current turbines, benefit from economies of scale, yielding lower costs for generated electricity with larger power generation per unit. This increase in power is often accompanied by a reduction in rotational velocity of the power input shaft, resulting in a large increase in torque. Because electric generators require rotational velocities tens to hundreds of times greater than the rotational velocity of the input shaft, a speed increasing gearbox is often applied between the power input shaft and the generator. Generally, torque (τ) delivered by the power input shaft to the speed-increasing gearbox for such applications is given by
where P is the power and ω is the rotational velocity of the power input shaft. Costs of conventional gearboxes (planetary, helical, etc.) increase exponentially with increased torque, diminishing the beneficial effects of increased scale. In addition, such high torque gearboxes must generally be custom designed and manufactured for specific application, further increasing their costs.
It is desirable to provide a way of reducing the torque on gearboxes resulting from slow moving turbine blades.
Prior art shows several inventions with multiple motors driving a single power output shaft, an application significantly different than the present application. Electric generating systems have been shown in the art to use multiple generators powered by a single gearbox. In each invention, the division of this power generating capacity to the multiple generators is done for power quality considerations. Division of gearboxes is becoming rare in recent commercial applications, largely because the cost of many small generators often exceeds the cost of a single large generator with the same capacity.
In addition, as turbines grow in size, the size and weight of individual components grow as well. Wind turbines place these components on top of a tower, presently stretching to over 60 m above the ground, while ocean current turbines are located at sea, where they can only be accessed by boat. The size of the components necessitates very large lifting equipment, making both the land-based cranes and ocean lifting equipment extremely costly. It is desirable to provide a way of reducing the weight and size of individual components of electricity generating equipment.
By dividing the powertrain into smaller components, generating systems receive an element of redundancy. For example, when ten small gearboxes and generators split the system's load, if one gearbox or generator experiences a fault, the system's capacity may only be reduced by 10%, allowing the system to remain active. A single set of components loses all of its capacity when a single component experiences a fault. It is desirable to provide a way of establishing reliability through redundancy in generating systems.
Briefly, in accordance with the invention, an electric power-generating device comprises a rotor which revolves in response to an external source of mechanical energy to which is coupled a main power input shaft. A torque-dividing gearbox is coupled to the main power input shaft and a plurality of torque-reducing gearboxes, each driving a generator and each having an input shaft, are connected to the torque-dividing gearbox. The plurality of torque-reducing gearboxes are located around a perimeter of the main power input drive shaft.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a powertrain for wind turbines and ocean current turbines consists of a large, input power shaft-mounted, rotating bull-gear with stationary smaller powertrains mounted around its periphery. The gear teeth on the bull-gear rotate past the teeth on the pinions, causing the pinions to turn and deliver power to each smaller powertrain. Alternatively, powertrains are attached in a spindle around the perimeter of a main power input drive shaft, and rotate as the shaft rotates. The input drive shaft to each of the smaller powertrain gearboxes is fitted with a pinion. As the main power input shaft turns, the generators, gearboxes and pinions rotate, moving the pinions around the interior of a stationary ring gear. Reduction and distribution of torque is similar to the rotating bull-gear powertrain. In the sun-gear configuration, each smaller powertrain is stationary, reducing stress caused by rotation.
The invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a cut-away view of a preferred embodiment of the distributed powertrain of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a close-up view of the components of the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an isometric view of the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 shows a side view of a single sub-powertrain in an alternate embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of prior art U.S. Pat. No. 4,691,119, illustrating the placement of a torque-splitting mechanism relative to a reducer;
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the present invention for comparison with FIG. 5.
FIG. 1 is a cut-away view of the preferred embodiment of the distributed powertrain. Power, supplied by the flow-driven rotation of the rotors, is transmitted into the nacelle by the rotating main shaft 10. A torque-dividing gearbox, comprising a sun gear 20, pressure-mounted on the perimeter of the main shaft and rotating with the shaft, interacts with five pinions 30 mounted around its perimeter, causing them to turn at a rotational rate greater than that of the sun-gear. The chamber 40 in which the sun-gear and pinions rotate is flooded with oil or contains an oil distribution system for lubrication. Each pinion is coupled to the input end of a small torque-reducing gearbox, which increases the rotational speed of the output shaft relative to the pinion. The output shaft of each gearbox is connected by a coupling 60 to a generator 70. Each sub-powertrain consisting of a gearbox 50 and generator 70 is mounted to a circular plate 100 comprising one wall of the oil-filled pinion chamber 40. Each gearbox 50 is held within a plate-mounted gearbox flange 110, to which is mounted a generator flange 120. The generator 70 is then mounted to the generator flange 120. The smaller size of the sub-powertrains relative to conventional larger powertrains allows for easy component handling through a nacelle hatch 130.
FIG. 2 is a close-up view of the components of the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1. A seal 200 prevents water leakage, in the case of a current turbine, or fouling, in the case of a wind turbine, of the roller bearings 210 supporting and allowing rotation of the main shaft. The pinions are held in place by bearings 230, 240. Gussets 220, 250 in the nacelle structure support the loads transferred from the main shaft to the bearings.
FIG. 3 is an isometric view of the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1. This view more clearly illustrates the interaction between the sun-gear 20 and the pinions 30 within the oil-filled chamber 40. The generator, generator flange 110, and gearbox flange 120 are seen to be mounted to the circular plate 100. The pinion bearings 230 are mounted to the walls of the oil-filled chamber 40, which is fortified by structural gussets 250.
FIG. 4 shows the side view of a single sub-powertrain in an alternate embodiment of the present invention in which each of the sub-powertrains is mounted on a cylinder 300 that is mounted on the main shaft 310. A torque-dividing gearbox, ring gear 320, is fixed around the inner perimeter of the nacelle. Each of the sub-powertrains is joined via a coupling 370 to a pinion 330. Fluid motion causes the rotors to turn, turning the main shaft and the sub-powertrains mounted to the main shaft. As the sub-powertrain spindle rotates, the pinions move past the ring gear within an oil-filled chamber 340, causing the pinions to rotate faster than the main shaft and supplying input power to the sub-powertrains' gearboxes 350. Each gearbox serves to increase the rotational speed of its output shaft relative to its input shaft. The gearbox output shaft is then joined by a coupling 380 to a generator 360. Conduits carrying electricity generated by the sub-powertrains' generators are gathered within the main shaft and transferred to a non-rotating conductor via a slip-ring 390.
The present invention via a torque-dividing gearbox distributes a high input torque of the rotor 116 between multiple powertrains, each consisting of a smaller conventional torque-reducing gearbox 200 and generator 202. The sum of the power producing capacities of the generators is equal to the maximum power delivered by the power input shaft, and is equivalent to the power produced by a single generator in a conventional system.
If the spindle consists of a number, n, of smaller powertrains, and the gear ratio between the ring gear and the pinion is m, then the torque, τ′, delivered to each of the gearboxes is given by
where P is the total system input power and ω is the rotational velocity of the spindle. It can bee seen that the gearbox input torque, as given in Eq. 1, is reduced by a factor of (m�n)−1. In a system consisting of 6 powertrains, with a ring to pinion gear ratio of 15, torque delivered to each gearbox is reduced to 1.11% ({fraction (1/90)}th) of the torque of the power input shaft alone.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating prior art (U.S. Pat. No. 4,691,119). This invention couples multiple generators 430 coupled 428 to shafts 426 having pinions 425 around a high-speed (low torque) bull-gear 420 within the gearbox's second stage. The principal function of the prior art patent is to "create an efficient power supply with a controllable output frequency" to improve the quality of generated electricity for use in avionics. The power input is at high RPM, greatly reducing the need for first stage 410 step-up and torque reduction, and therefore reducing the loads applied to the gearbox. A somewhat similar design is used in the prior art shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,585,950, wherein multiple generators are coupled to the high-speed shaft 415 of a wind turbine gearbox for power quality reasons.
Both of the above prior art designs split the input power at the high-speed end 415 of the gearbox 410, where the input torque applied to each pinion or belt drive is greatly reduced. Instead, the driving shaft upon which the bull-gear or belt drive is located could be simply attached to an external gearbox stage or to a single generator. Present understanding of gearbox and generator pricing teaches that high input speed gearboxes are relatively inexpensive, and that multiple generators cost more than a single large generator. In addition, power electronics have been developed for the functions for which the above prior art patent have been designed. Therefore, present teaching leads away from use of multiple generators divided at the low-speed shaft of a multi-stage gearbox.
In comparison, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the present invention, which first divides the input torque at the low speed shaft 500 by turning pinions 502 around an input shaft-mounted bull-gear 501 before translating it through shafts 504 and couplings 506 into multiple independent smaller gearboxes 510, which are then coupled 516 via a shaft 514 to small generators 520. The bull-gear 501 and pinions 502 form an effective first stage to the gearbox, while each of the sub-powertrains' gearboxes 510 are self-contained second stages. The first stage need not be a torque-reducing stage. Instead, it may serve as only a torque-splitter, dividing the load between the separate pinions and distributing the contact load between the teeth on the pinions. The diameter of the bull-gear could be the same as the diameter of each pinion, resulting in more of the torque reduction occurring in the individual second stages. The ability to limit the step-up required in the first stage while still resulting in dramatically reduced torque delivered to the second stage results in significant material and associated cost savings.
This invention offers a number of solutions not native to conventional powertrains having a single gearbox and generator:
1. The high torque is split between multiple gearboxes, with the input speed to each benefiting from the 5 to 20:1 step up between the ring gear and the pinions. This enables each of the powertrains to consist of commercially available components, with much higher gearbox input speed. This higher input speed and lower power per powertrain results in greatly reduced input torque. The summed cost of these higher speed, lower torque gearboxes is significantly less than the cost of a single low speed, high torque gearbox. In addition, the summed weight of these smaller gearboxes is significantly less than the weight of a single low speed, high torque gearbox.
2. The parallel powertrains in each nacelle offer an aspect of redundancy that would not be present with a single powertrain, eliminating the single point failure of an individual gearbox and generator. Should one powertrain suffer a fault, it may be taken off line, and the device may continue to generate electricity at a reduced capacity until maintenance is possible.
3. Efficiency may be boosted by taking powertrains off line when they are not required in lower input power periods. Because generators typically suffer greater efficiency reductions when operating below nominal power input, taking several powertrains off line may allow the remaining powertrains to operate nearer to their optimal efficiency. For instance, if a 750 kW turbine consisted of ten 75 kW systems, then two systems (opposite each other in the ring of powertrains for load balancing) could be taken off line when power production dips below 80%, allowing the remaining generating systems to remain nearer optimal generating efficiency. Typical efficiency gains may be from 1 to 5%, or 20 to 80% reduction in generator losses.
4. Generator and gearbox cooling may benefit from the reduced mass of individual components and from the spacing of components yielding additional air circulation.
5. Many of the smaller generating systems available are robustly designed and have very strong performance records, which may help to reduce powertrain faults and expensive maintenance time.
6. Each powertrain is significantly less massive than a single large powertrain, and may therefore be handled more easily. A significant portion of O&M costs for wind and current turbines come from rental of heavy lifting equipment such as cranes. Because the size of individual components is reduced, the size of the required equipment and the associated costs may be reduced.
7. Access for maintenance, removal, or replacement is facilitated by the revolving spindle of powertrains. The spindle may be rotated a fraction of a revolution, exposing each powertrain to a single access hatch in the device casing.
8. The main sun or ring gear and the pinions may be installed to rotate in either direction. This allows for manufacturing and grinding of one set of gearing regardless of the direction of rotation of the main shaft. For some applications it may be advantageous for turbines to rotate in one direction or the other. Because conventional gearboxes are typically designed to rotate in one direction only, two separately designed and manufactured gearboxes would otherwise be required to allow selection of operating direction.
9. The present invention may be used in conjunction with a fixed pitch, variable speed wind turbine concept. Torque control on the generator may be combined with power electronics to modulate speed. To apply this successfully, a low contact stress gearbox design, such as the present invention, is required in order to handle the associated load excursions.
10. The present invention may allow maximizing of aerodynamic efficiency in wind turbines. Given the high gear ratios achievable with the present invention in a relatively light and compact configuration, the wind turbine rotor can be operated at lower rotational speeds, which allows for reduction in the blades' tip speed ratio. Operating at a reduced tip speed ratio allows for reduction in blade noise, for reduction in blade surface erosion, and for increases in aerodynamic efficiency due to reduced drag and tip losses.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and other changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention.

Gym Reviews
I absolutely love this place. So addicting!!! I cannot emphasize just how much better I feel after I have worked out here for the morning or evening. I've lost 8lbs and 3-4 inches in the waist. I owe all of this to my hardwork, and especially to the exceptional trainers (Callie, Zak, McKenna). Thank you guys/gals for pushing me and improving my form and strength. Overall, I feel like such a better, more energetic person.
I've only been working out here for a little while, but every time I go it's a blast! (Sweaty, but a blast!) Thank you Callie and McKenna for helping me through each round! My confidence is rising the more I go!
I love this place!! Worked out here for 6 months, then off for about a year (family commitments), now I am back! I have been working out here the last 3 months and have never felt better. Ive lost 8lbs. and 3-4inches in the waist. Most importantly I need to thank the trainers (Rick, Kaitlyn, Callie), and the owners, Serge and Wendy. All such friendly people, and pushing me hard during my workouts. I feel so much better everyday. I am sad to hear that Rick (Thank you so much for pushing me hard everyday!!! :o) and Kaitlyn have left, but I am confident that Callie and the new trainer McKenna will due a great job!! Keep up the excellent work!! ....looking forward to tonight!!!!
Amazing place
WOW Is all I can say Callie ran me into the ground and I loved it. I thought I was in pretty good shape having taking kickboxing classes in Temecula, which by the way are an hour long. This workout is only 30 min and I have never experienced such an awesome circuit. Rick your Trainers are amazing.
I finally signed up at 9Round and I feel like I've made a huge step towards a healthier lifestyle. Rick the manager went out of his way to work with me and make me feel comfortable. He is an inspiration to me and my family. Keep up the great work and thank you for believing in me. I recommend this gym to all.
Love this gym!! Rick is so down to earth and friendly! He truly cares about you and your results instead of how much money he can get out of you. Rick you have changed the way we think about living a healthy lifestyle. Thank you for always making in fun. =) The routine will completely kick your ass like no other. Absolutely great work outs! Highly recommend if you're trying to be serious about getting into shape!
I have to been to a lot of gyms, gone to a lot of bootcamps, and this is by far the best workout I've ever had. After one week I saw results. Plus, it's fun too! I have never been so excited to go workout until now.
This gym is the bomb!! It has energy unlike any other gym I have been at. Rick , Kaitlin and Callie are the best in the valley at what they do. Thank you Serge & Wendy for bringing 9Round to Murrieta
Tried your gym last week and I just wanted to say Rick is by far the most professional trainer that I have ever encountered. If I lived locally I would be signing up. Your gym is the top notch and I will be spreading the word. One more thing, is he single? =)
Woohoo...630am...I can't wait till Sept 1....love working out...Rick is such a inspiration and motivator for me thanks.
I cannot begin to tell you what a difference training with Rick and 9Round has made my life. When I first came to Rick I really had no idea that I would continue as long as I have. I am so glad I started. Working out with Rick here has affected me physically (of course) and mentally. I have never felt better. His knowledge of exercise and how the body works is amazing. Plus the encouragement that I receive from Rick only makes me want to work harder. When I first came to 9Round I had low self esteem and no "umpf" to work hard. Today I am healthier and more self confident than I have ever been. I had no idea that physical fitness could affect all areas of my life. Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Even thank you isn't enough to express my deepest gratitude that Rick and 9Round are in our lives (my daughter, my husband and I)
WOW is all I have to say. Rick brings out the best in us in the mornings. I have never had so much fun working out. 9Round has changed the way I look and feel about fitness. We love you guys and the new trainers are awesome, great find.
So my wife comes back home after trying her first workout with Rick at 9rounds. She has nothing but great things to say about this place and Rick. What ever you guys are doing keep doin it.
Awesome facility and with an award-winning Trainer!!! I've trained with a few very expensive Trainers and no one has worked me out like Rick. Rick doesn't sell you a membership he gives you your life back. He truley cares and was very inspiring. My family reaps the rewards of my healthy ways now. 5 STAR gym all the way around. Thanks Rick
I stopped in yesterday and the gym was closed but the Manager opened the doors with a very welcoming smile. I wanted to thank him for being so kind and very imformative. I will be signing up this week. Thank you Rick
I love 9Rounds!!! A friend asked me to come and try out 9Rounds... I was hooked. I have never had a better workout then in here. The trainers are awesome, they make all the hard work lots of fun. I am seeing more results in the past 4 weeks than the last 6 years at a regular gym... Thanks Rick
I came in when I was visiting family last week. I've never been around so much positive people. Rick the manager was very welcoming and his workout was a blast. I've never had so much fun working out. Thank you 9Round for making my family strong and healthy
I have been working out here for about two months and I have lost 12lbs so far and still going. The work outs are never is boring and always challenging. Most of all FUN. The staff are very motivating and are always there to make sure you are doing it right. They have become my inspiration and my friends. Thank You Rick for always being there for me.
I've been at this gym for a few months and absolutely love it! Rick is awesome and very knowledgeable. The workouts are always challenging and fun. I have already lost 10 pounds! I haven't felt this great in years! Thank you 9 round!
I've never been so addicted to my workout like I am now. 9Round Murrieta is by far the best gym I've ever been apart of. I'm reaching my goals and enjoying every minute. Rick pushs and motivates me to accomplish things I didn't think I could. You guys are the best. Thank you
I've never experienced a workout like this. The Trainers and members were all very welcoming. It was super hard and crazy fun. I will finally reach my fitness goals with the help of this gym
I've never worked out like that before and I don't think I would ever go back to my old routine again. Talk about high intensity and killer energy! I will be signing up tomorrow and bringing my wife in tonight. Thanks for inspiring me, Rick and Jen you kick ass.
Sickest workout in town. I've trained at a lot of places from mma to cross fit and have never sweated so much in my life! Rick is very motivating and knows his stuff a true pro. 9Round rocks
I've always worked out and loved it. I tried 9rounds and had no idea I would emotionally feel so much better. It was a huge release of pent up emotions I was able to get out through kicking and punching. Guess I needed a good outlet to help my mind feel better also. The workout is intense and I'm always challenged. It's a WORKOUT!!
The Trainers here are the very best. They are very knowledgeable about what they teach. I feel very lucky to have found this gym. Thank you Serge and Wendy for bringing kickboxing fitness to Murrieta. Rick and Jen your the best!
After a week of being closed. 3 rounds in i felt it. Great energy awesome workout.
WOW best workout ever! Love the energy and the pace. Great Trainers and they show they care. Thank you
I just finished the first week of a two-week trial run at 9Round, and I'm hooked! The high intensity circuit incorporating the bags, cardio, weights, and core exercises is the change I was looking for in my workouts. Plus, I can get in and out in 30 minutes (or 60 minutes if I stay for a killer second 9 round) and really feel the workout! A shoutout to Rick who challenges me with a 10th round for good measure once in awhile!
9 Round Murrieta! Holy Crap! You wanna workout and love it???? This place rocks! Great workout everytime! Rick is an awesome trainer pushes and motivates you into the best shape and looks of your life! I am back down to my High school size waist! Built some muscle and it goes fast! You are in and out and sweat your butt off! Boxing/Kickboxing fitness without getting hit! You end up wanting to get to the gym after work! I look forward to it!
WOW!! The workouts are fabulous and you definitely get addicted in an awesome way:) Rick is the best trainer I have ever had. He totally motivates you to keep going strong. Everyone needs this to get fit. My young teenage/adult friends even thought it was an awesome, serious workout. You'll love it!!!
This place Rocks I've been coming here with my friends since it opened. We've all lost weight and size and love every workout. Ricks the best at what he does. Thank you for everything
Testimonial Yes, I had a great workout!! Rick is a great trainer. I haven't spoken to the owner John yet, but I think he is lucky to have found Rick. I try to stay in good shape, but that workout was a little different from what I am used to and it was pretty intense. I am definitely a little sore today. Normally, I do weights with some cardio and the occasional hike, volleyball, mountain biking, yoga, plyometrics, etc. I am actually doing a 2 mile ocean swim on Sunday. But this workout was fun and intense. Thanks Rick
Pamela Cook Rodriguez Thanks for pushing me Rick! You def motivate me! I have lost 10 pounds already! You are a god sent and I thank you for being in my life. Your the best trainer!

Top Definition
An incredibly attractive woman who has the hots for tall men dressed in black suits, preferably accessorized with blue ties. Swoonbats generally like to bite their victims on the neck but are rarely dangerous. They merely nibble when given the chance. Swoonbats may or may not be tattooed with the symbol of a bat. They also have a strange predilection for watching Congressional hearings.
The Swoonbat sidled up to the handsome senator BATTing her eyelashes and trying to cop a feel of his pretty, blue tie.

All Together Dead
Book 7, Sookie Stackhouse - A True Blood Novel
Charlaine Harris
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Betrayed by her longtime vampire love, and with a new man - a shapeshifter - in her life, Sookie's got quite enough to deal with without having to contend with the long-awaited vampire summit . . .Sookie's beginning to get used to being surrounded by all varieties of undead, changeling, shapeshifting and other supernatural beings - but even she has her limits. She'd really like to take a while to get over being betrayed by Bill, her long-time vampire lover, and get used to her new relationship with the sexy shapeshifter Quinn - but instead, she finds herself attending the long-planned vampire summit, the destination of choice for every undead power player around, as a sort-of human 'Geiger counter' for Sophie-Anne Leclerq, vampire queen of Louisiana.
But the job is fraught with difficulties. Sophie-Anne's power base has been severely weakened by Hurricane Katrina, and she's about to be put on trial during the event for murdering her king. Sookie knows the queen is innocent, but she's hardly prepared for other shocking murders: it looks like there are some vamps who would like to finish what nature started. With secret alliances and backroom deals the order of the day - and night - Sookie must decide which side she'll stand with, and quickly, for her choice may mean the difference between survival and all-out catastrophe.

This I believe is a new addition to the scrub line. I use the Tree Hut body scrub but the Almond&Honey, so when I saw this I picked it up because it had a great summer like fragrance. It's an excellent scrub and exfoliates very well. It left my skin super smooth and glowing.
It contains Evening Primorse Oil and Jojoba Esters as well as avocado,orange,almond and of course mango oil.
It's something I use 2x a month during the summer to get that smooth,glowing body before I jump into my bathing suit. Will repurchase always!
